Gong hei fatt choy!!!

Has it been a year already?? dayum, time sure flies!

I still remember last year's Chinese New Years, and it feels like it was just a few months ago!!  Being such a horrible blogger, my 2013 CNY entry is just 2 pages away from the homepage! hahaha...

I admit I am not a pro, but it sure feels nice to look back at all that's been recorded, and just relive that moment.

O'well, this year, we did things a little different. We cut down on crackers, since our youngest in the family is 8 years old, and the next youngest is 15; and we didn't hire a lion dance.
Last year the lion dance crew was really bad, and I told my dad not to get em this year. I mean, if I had the skin, I would've done a better job!


I got prepared early! Packed my red packets, enough to give the whole neighbourhood since i've been diligently collecting angpow packets ever since Christmas was over...

Since we reached Ipoh just in time for the reuninon dinner, most shops were already closed. So i had to reluctantly use some outdated, ugly angpows and pack them in desperation...

I spent only a night in Ipoh since we had to be back to feed our 6 dogs, and one cat.
The only way to optimize my stay was to sleep less, eat more and gamble more!

My first day of CNY is quite the obvious! Won more money, at mahjong than I did on BlackJack! hehe

The usual family photos for the start of 2014:

Still can do silly faces despite the age - Dad looks really funny here. Almost resembles Jackie Chan in the 2nd row picture

One proper shot for the record, at Kek Lok Tong Temple - Chinese cave temple  

Josh & I,  2 days before CNY, in Pavilion with thousands of horse at the background...
